Hello,

Thanks for the confirmation that onboard ethernet works. I've booted
the pi and I'm not seeing it on the network. I've tried mounting the
freebsd partition under a linux virtual machine which it's fdisk shows
it as /dev/sdd2 later in the display shows it up as 15. I can not get
it to mount so am not sure what rc.conf is doing, I was hoping it
would get a dhcp address since it's plugged directly in. I also did
add a blank ssh file to the /dev/sdd1 partition.

Suggestions?

Thanks.
Dave.
